Mino potteries are ceramics and porcelains produced in the Tono region in Japan. During the Azuchi Momoyama (1573-1600) era, the apogee of ceramics, the production of Mino potteries of high artistic quality is developing, reflecting the rise of the tea ceremony in Japan. During the Showa period (1926-1988), this type of potteries becamethe largest production of Japan, in terms of prestige and volume.
The Kinsei teacup is an accessory combining tradition and modernity. Its name “Kinsei” means “modern times” in Japanese and refers to its modern shape.
Those high quality teacups are produced according to a process of clay kneading, followed by casting, drying, a bisque firing, a procedure of dip-glazing and a final firing. This glazing is a unique blending exclusively produced in this factory. It gives a finish touch similar to stoneware for a porcelain teacup that stays light and easy to use.
